• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In the first story in this collection a young journalist is disappointed to be sent away on a discouraging assignment, but she soon discovers that inspiration can appear in the most unlikely places. In a second there are fabulous beasts, a raging storm, hostile city states, and in the middle, a young couple and their forbidden love. In another, a schoolgirl is dragged into an adventure to save an endangered people in another world, where things get very complicated very quickly. The seven eclectic fictions in this collection vary in length and encompass a number of genres, but are united by their sense of humour, and in being set in the same partly real, partly imaginary location.

Autorenporträt

Wayne Cowling describes his stories as Tangled Yarnsfictions woven from Mereworld, a semi-fictional setting where alternate history and imagination intertwine. Working across realism, surrealism, humour, fantasy, literature, adventure, and historical fiction, Wayne creates short to medium-length works that are both entertaining and thought-provoking.

His writing often grapples with weighty themes, sometimes dark in tone, yet always tempered with wit and irony. Within these Tangled Yarns, readers will encounter a host of engaging charactersand may even catch a glimpse of themselves. Wayne's stories rarely offer simple answers; instead, they invite curiosity and reflection, and readers can expect to be both entertained and stimulated. Some of his works have grown from meticulous research, particularly in history and genealogy, subjects close to his heart.

Wayne lives in Manchester with his wife and their cats. A devoted amateur genealogist, he also takes a keen interest in the history of his hometown, Southport. Having begun his writing journey later in life, Wayne is making up for lost time by dedicating himself to stories that matter to him. Widely travelled across Europe, he dreams of one day moving to Switzerlandwhen his lottery numbers finally come up.
